Riscos e Normas de Segurança
EN ISO 11612:2015
This international standard provides the minimum performance requirements for clothing to protect the wearers’ bodies (except for their hands) against heat and flame, which could be worn for a wide range of end uses where there is a need for clothing with limited flame spread properties. Additionally, the wearer could be exposed to radiant or convective or contact heat, or to molten metal splashes. Our DH, DH Air, Indura, Polartec FR, Synergy Pro, UltraSoft and Vinex fabrics meet requirements under this standard. Reach out to our international market manager to learn more.
Riscos Aplicáveis
Arc Flash
The intense energy and short duration of an electric arc represents a unique exposure — one that requires flame-resistant garments durable enough to withstand temperatures that approach 35,000 °F while providing the wearer with protection to self-extinguish when the arc flash event is over (in tenths of a second) and better insulate/protect against a second degree burn through the fabric.
Once ignited, regular cotton or poly/cotton work clothes could continue burning even after the source of the ignition is removed. Westex arc flash protection fabrics, however, will self-extinguish and provide guaranteed flame resistance for the life of the garment.
